Time is of the Essence

Time is of the Essence

If the contract does not have a time is of the essence provision and the party who is having trouble is making a good-faith effort to close, courts have allowed the contract to remain viable for a reasonable period of time after the designated date.

Consequently, buyers and sellers who are considering including a time is of the essence provision in the purchase contract should consult with their attorney to be sure they understand its full impact.
